Session VWAP
An anchored VWAP from the session open with standard-deviation bands — showing where price sits relative to the day's volume-weighted mean.
The volume-weighted average price, anchored to the session open and rebuilt each day, with standard-deviation bands drawn at the multiples you set. It shows where price is trading relative to the session’s volume-weighted mean, and how many standard deviations it sits from that mean.
It computes and draws — nothing more. There are no arrows, no alerts, and no calls on which way price will go next; the VWAP and its bands on a closed bar don’t change afterward. What you make of the reading is up to you.
What it shows
- The session-anchored volume-weighted average price, rebuilt from the session open each day.
- Standard-deviation bands above and below the VWAP, at the multiples you choose.
- How many standard deviations price is trading from the session's volume-weighted mean.
